Anyone have any tips on brazing in replacement footwells, I am
hoping to start on this next week, so that I can continue with the
frameover.
Yup - brazing is right out on structural steel (which anything attached to
the bulkhead is) Find a weldor and save yourself a lot of grief.
Brazes, because they are not metal fusion, will crack and fail. Not a good
idea....also against the law in inspection depending on the state.
I've seen brazed repairs after a while - one 88 I bought had brazed-on
outriggers - which had cracked along 3 sides and were peeling off the frame
underneath. The brazing had failed...not the metal substrate. That frame
got scrapped in a big hurry....
If you do all the prep and fitting getting the stuff welded should be cheap
enough...
